Now: Lakes, meadows, and wooded paths stretching over a good portion of Golden Gate Park's length, the middle section has some of the most tranquil and secluded areas in the park.
Then: Most of the lakes in the park, including the lush Stow Lake, did not exist at all before the creation of the park. The entrace way columns of a Nob Hill residence destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire were transported to the park as the Portals of the Past monument, at Lloyd Lake.
How To Get There: The middle section is accessible directly via 19th Avenue, which intersects with MLK Drive on the south side and Cross Over Drive on the north. 25th Avenue also has traffic entrances on both the north and south sides. Parking along Fulton Street is easy along the middle Avenues.
The little Fulton Playground, built in 1981, is just inside the park at 9th Avenue. You can walk from the playground to the Music Concourse through the pedestrian tunnel under JFK Drive.
South of the playground, the JFK Drive pedestrian tunnel was designed in 1896. Even something as utilitarian as a traffic bridge was undertaken with fantastic style by the park's builders.
Developed for the 1894 Mid-Winter Fair, this concourse is now the heart of Golden Gate Park's "museum district". The Music Stand (aka Spreckels Temple of Music) at the west end of the concourse was completed in 1900, and still hosts music performances on Sundays. Many of the park's historically controversial statues are scattered in and around the concourse area. The Pool of Enchantment, originally installed in 1917 at the front of the DeYoung Museum, is now located (post-restoration) on its east side.
Founded in 1895 as the Memorial Museum, and renamed as the DeYoung in 1924 after the San Francisco Chronicle publisher who had guided its development. The original structure was built in Egyptian style. The museum was completely rebuilt and re-opened in 2005. Exhibitions of art and historic artifacts are featured. Open Tuesday through Sunday, 9:30am to 5:15pm. $10 regular adult admission. Entry to the observation tower is free. 415-750-3600. Website.
Originally opening in Golden Gate Park in 1916, the facility later came to include the Steinhart Aquarium (1923), the African Hall (with dioramas), Science Hall, and Morrison Planetarium. Entire generations of children visited on field trips. Completely demolished and rebuilt, the new Academy of Sciences opened in 2008. It now includes the downstairs aquarium, penguins and displays from the African Hall on the ground floor, the rainforest dome, and the living roof. Open Monday through Saturday 9:30am to 5:00pm, and Sunday 11:00am to 5:00pm. $24.95 regular adult admission. Thursday nights 6:00pm to 10:00pm, adults 21+ only ($12). 415-379-8000. Website.
Established in 1928, this formal garden features plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare's writings. The garden's marble bench was added in 1929. The iron entrance gate was added during a renovation in 1991. It's located just south of the Academy of Sciences.
Two back-to-back baseball diamonds on an incredibly large stretch of lawn. This patch of green stands out clearly when looking down at the park from the vantage point of Grand View Park in Golden Gate Heights. Two indoor handball courts are situated just north of the Big Rec Fields, off of Middle Drive East. On the east side of the handball courts, a path leads up toward the DeLaveaga Dell/AIDS Memorial Grove. Two rings of stones, possibly headstone pieces, lie embedded in a clearing around a tree on the path south of Middle Drive East. The ball fields are available for reservation. 415-831-5510.
Tranquil grove of coastal redwoods, surrounding a granite rock inscribed with the names of local casualties of World War I. Paths lead from the Rose Garden through this wooded area to the Music Concourse entrance at 10th Avenue. The grove was dedicated in 1919, and the memorial rock was added in 1932. The entrances are easy to miss, and most visitors pass by on JFK Drive without noticing this part of the park.
Dating to 1894, this garden's current beautiful state belies a turbulent political history. The Hagiwara family, original caretakers of the garden, were evicted and sent to an internment camp during World War II. Until 1952, the garden was called Oriental Tea Garden, removing the reference to its Japanese origin. Open daily 9:00am to 6:00pm (March-October), 9:00am to 4:45pm (November-February). $5 adult admission ($7 non-SF residents). Free entry before 10am Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 415-666-3232. Website.
This building sits at the main entrance to the Botanical Garden on 9th Avenue near Lincoln Way. It was dedicated in 1960 and was intended as a hall of flowers - a display area for indoor specimens. It now hosts expositions and public events.
This vast 55-acre collection of geographically themed gardens offers the opportunity to see (and learn the names of) plant specimens from all over the world. It also features some of the most charming walking paths and grassy picnic areas in all of Golden Gate Park. Gates are open 8:00am to 4:30pm weekdays, 10:00am to 5:00pm weekends. Free admission. Free guided walks daily at 1:30pm. 415-661-1316. Website.
Developed in 1961, this garden is situated between the Park Presidio Boulevard Entrance at Fulton Street and JFK Drive, just west of the Music Concourse. Roses in red, pink, yellow, and orange manage to survive despite the park's frequent foggy days, and are in full bloom during late summer.
The meadow adjacent to this grove and the Doughboy Statue with laurel wreath are easy to notice while passing by on JFK Drive, but the redwood grove itself is visited less often. The trees were planted in 1930 in honor of war casualties, and have since grown enough to create a dense, shady grove.
Planted in 1896, this grove includes a tree for each of the 13 Colonies. Each tree is a different type, native to the area it represents. The gently sloping meadow and ring of trees create a tempting vista when you're passing by on JFK Drive. The bizarre Pioneer Mother Statue also tends to call attention, and is rumored to be a creepy sight on foggy nights.
Constructed in 1911 from redwood logs (floated down in the form of a raft down the coast from Humboldt County), to honor the pioneer women of California. The cabin now houses the Permits Division of the Park Department.
Named for the colored lights that originally framed the falls at their dedication in 1930, this is the second of two artificial waterfall systems created in Golden Gate Park (the other being Huntington Falls in Stow Lake). Water is pumped from nearby Lloyd Lake, and circulated in the trench stream along JFK Drive. The very top of the falls is enclosed by fences, so no vantage point looking down over the cascade is possible.
The Prayerbook Cross near the top of the falls is another 1894 relic, and may be reached via a trail up the hill. In early photos, the cross is seen clearly on the hill (and is referred to as "Drake's Cross". Full grown trees now hide the cross almost completely from street level. At 64 feet, it is the tallest monument in the park.
A landscaping masterpiece, it's very hard to believe that this lake was built from nothing. Finished in 1893, this quintessential feature of Golden Gate Park was a featured part of the 1894 Midwinter Fair. The lake itself forms a ring around Strawberry Hill, with three smaller islands in the lake for wildlife habitation. Two bridges connect the outside shore of the lake to Strawberry Hill. At the northwest corner of Stow Lake, boat rentals are available at the front entrance, bicycles and surreys at the back. 415-752-0347.
The plain Roman Bridge and its counterpart, the rocky Rustic Bridge, both date to 1893.
The Rustic Bridge and Roman Bridge were both completed in time for the 1894 Midwinter Fair. Then, as now, they allow pedestrians to walk from the outer shore of Stow Lake to the island of Strawberry Hill, and boats to travel underneath.
The island hill, the highest point in Golden Gate Park, is surrounded by Stow Lake. Paths lead around the perimeter of the hill, and steps lead up the west and east sides. Sweeney Observatory, a castle-like concrete structure sat atop the hill from 1891 to 1906, when it was ruined in the earthquake.
Huntington Falls was inspired by a visit John McLaren made to the Sierras with naturalist John Muir. The sculpted rocks around the falls look a little theme park-ish, but it's no less scenic when you're climbing the adjacent stairs.
This structure was a gift from San Francisco's sister city, Taipei, and was dedicated in 1981.
It's hard to miss this meadow from MLK Drive, as it's a strikingly large patch of relatively flat grass. There are trees around the perimeter, but the lawn itself is wide open. A playground sits in the back, and paths on the east and west side connect with Stow Lake.
More vehicle traffic passes through this gate at 19th Avenue and Lincoln Way than any other entry point to the park. The pillars were a gift from a wealthy family and were dedicated in 1923.
This well-named road consists of four traffic lanes slicing through the middle of the park from south to north. At JFK Drive it literally crosses over via traffic bridge and then splits toward 25th Avenue to the west and Park Presidio Boulevard to the east. It's bascially the main way to drive through the park if your intent is to get to the other side without stopping.
Parallel to Crossover Drive, Transverse is the road you take if you want to travel north-south without leaving the park. It's also a great relatively quiet street to park on with access to the middle section of the park.
Middle Drive East and West are two parts of a road travelling east-west through the middle of the park. The west section is closed to through traffic and one portion south of Speedway Meadow is blocked off as a bicycle training area.
This is the reservoir for the water pumped up its adjacent hill to Rainbow Falls. The water is circulated via the JFK Drive stream, and pours back into the lake in a cascade at its southwest corner. A trail entrance from Transverse Drive leads up the hill overlooking the water. The lake itself has a placid, dreamlike quality due in part to the stately presence of the Portals of the Past. It was also previously referred to as Mirror Lake.
Part of the entrance for a Nob Hill Mansion destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. The columns, left standing after the collapse of the house, were transported to the park and installed in 1909 as a memorial.
Created in 1936, this lake is adorned by plum and cherry trees on its east side, and surrounded by wild grasses that grow high in the early spring. Its location deep in the middle of Golden Gate Park, and the fact that no major road passes its shore, makes this one of the most hidden and seldom-visited features of the park.
Planted in 1932, this grove was apparently meant to honor the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth, not the bicentennial of US independence. The redwood tree dedicated to Herbert Hoover was planted in 1935, according to the plaque beneath it.

Iberdrola bids for the construction and operation of a 1,500-kilometer electrical network in Chile
Updated: 10/08/2021 15: 10h
The consortium led by Iberdrola has been selected to participate in the tender for the construction and operation of the first long-distance direct current line in Chile, which will run 1,500 kilometers of 600 kV lines and a capacity of 3,000 MW, between the substation from Kimal, in the Antofagasta region, and Lo Aguirre, in the Metropolitan region. The planned investment in the development of this infrastructure exceeds 2,275 million euros.
Iberdrola is participating in this tender in a consortium, of which it holds 60%, together with Celeo, in which the Spanish Elecnor, and the Dutch pension fund APG, participate. Elecnor is a company with which the energy company collaborates in numerous national and international projects and with an experience of more than a decade in the country, in which it has built more than 1,000 kilometers of electricity grid lines and infrastructure.
The project includes the construction of two direct current converter stations (LCC, 'line-commutated current-sourced converter'), with proven Siemens technology similar to that used in the Western Link line, operated by Iberdrola in the United Kingdom, which they will allow the evacuation of renewable energy in the regions of greatest demand. Likewise, it contemplates other sections of alternating current link and works to improve the existing substations.
The bidding process started today, with the presentation of the bids, will culminate with the selection of the winning consortium on December 13, 2021. The commissioning of the line is estimated in 2028.
If it is the winner, Iberdrola would start its activity in a new international growth platform, Chile, after strengthening its position in core markets over the last year and a half and entering other European and Asia-Pacific countries.

Striking Alchemy
For the Love of Alpaca Fibers
Alpaca fiber is loved around the world for its natural softness and warming properties. Here at Inca Brands, our love for Alpaca fiber is found in some special places. Allow me to elaborate and see what you think...
The same two questions we hear all the time:
What is Alpaca? Why do you use it?
Alpaca fleece or "wool" is a high-quality fiber which has been used by top designers around the world (see Prada & Ralph Lauren). Just this year, Ralph Lauren used Alpaca wool in the 2018 Winter Olympic uniforms for Team USA.
Introducing the #TeamUSA Opening Ceremony uniforms for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, unveiled this morning on the@TODAYshow. pic.twitter.com/bYlQAaPOHf
— Ralph Lauren (@RalphLauren) January 22, 2018
Alpaca wool is in high-demand by premier fashion designers because of it is a naturally hypoallergenic fiber that improves the qualities of any fiber it is blended with. It does not contain any oil or lanolin. It's estimated that as many as 20% of the U.S. population has some type of wool allergy. What these people are actually allergic to is the lanolin and dander found in sheep's wool. Alpaca contains neither of these and therefore is a go-to choice for people with wool sensitivities.
Additionally, some people find sheep's wool to be itchy especially in sensitive areas around the underarms and neck. Alpaca with it's softer feel has less itch and gains additional softness the more it's worn.
Babies can be safely wrapped in Alpaca with no adverse reaction. It does not harm their sensitive skin, and there is no concern for an allergic reaction. This is why we see more and more Alpaca being used in baby blankets.
Let's talk warmth factor...
It's so light, how can this be warm?
Allow me a moment to indulge my inner nerd, as the answer is scientific. If we were to view a single strand of Alpaca fiber under a microscope, it would reveal a smooth, semi-hollow structure (imagine a tube or drinking straw). The sweaters feel so lightweight because the fiber that makes up the sweater are hollow - reducing its weight.
Each fiber strand absorbs air and the ambient temperature along with it. So, as it takes in the air around it, it insulates and traps the warmth. Practically speaking, when you're wearing an Alpaca sweater the fibers in the sweater absorb your body's natural temperature and insulates you from external cold temperatures.
Because the stands allow for air flow, there is also natural moisture wicking that occurs. The fiber pulls moisture away from your body and allows it to dry (thank you air flow). Known as "hydromorphic" - Alpaca has a water retention rate of 0%, compared to most sheep's wool which can be as high as 33%.
Alpaca has a long tradition as an apparel textile. Long respected and revered in the Peruvian Culture dating back to the Incan times, Alpaca's were never harmed to obtain their fleece.
Alpaca is among the most sustainable types of textiles since the fiber is shorn off the alpacas once a year. The animals don't pollute or destroy their environment.
Since Alpaca contains no oils, it does not need harsh chemicals to clean or scour it.
Alpaca fleece has been found to have the most extensive natural color choice with more than 22 different colors and can be dyed to create an array of colors and pattern designs.
Largely because of all these characteristics and the relatively low population of Alpaca worldwide, the price of Alpaca garments is higher than that of sheep's wool. The result is that many garments labeled as "Alpaca" contain only a small percentage of Alpaca in them. As an apparel designer, we believe in the use of 100% Alpaca garments, as to not sacrifice what makes Alpaca unique. A blended garment containing Alpaca and wool is no longer hypoallergenic or lightweight.
This is why we are licensed member of the International Alpaca Association (IAA). The IAA was founded to protect the image of the alpaca fiber and its derivatives, as well as the promotion of international consumption and ensure the quality of their products, which is the interest of all institutions and companies worldwide have an interest in trading, processing, and manufacturing of the alpaca fiber.
We're Certified
As an apparel designer, we believe in the use of 100% Alpaca garments, as to not sacrifice what makes Alpaca unique.
There are even more wonderful facts about alpaca that I will share with you down the line, but the most fun is wearing it and finding out first hand!
We are excited about the growing awareness of alpaca as a wearable fiber and cannot wait to see what the future holds.

On Friday 24th June, Peace Hospice Care celebrated its 25th Anniversary!
To mark the event the Hospice held a small event to thank the staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication to the Hospice. The anniversary tea party took place at the Hospice on Peace Drive and was attended by the Hospice's Trustees and its loyal Patron, Mayor Dorothy Thornhill.
Elizabeth Timmons, from Watford, has been volunteering at Peace Hospice Care since it first opened 25 years ago and has been fundraising for the Hospice since 1995. Elizabeth said: "Volunteering at Peace Hospice Care has been the most satisfying thing I have done in my life; it's very rewarding. The work the Hospice does for the local community is invaluable and I love being able to give back to them.
"I had a great time on Friday and saw so many people that I haven't seen in years; some that helped fundraise 25 years ago. I don't want to be thanked for the work I do at the Hospice, I do it because I want to, but I deeply appreciate the effort that was put into the celebrations."
Abbi Langan, Interim Communications Manager, said: "The Board of Trustees and executive team didn't want to let this historic day pass without marking it. It is down to the drive, energy and enthusiasm of the staff and volunteers that we are able to deliver the consistently high standards of care that Peace Hospice Care is renowned for.
"Peace Hospice Care is a person centred organisation, not just for the patients and families we look after, but also for the staff and volunteers who are the beating heart of our charity. Despite the rain it was a lovely way to mark the occasion."
The Hertfordshire community come together to support Peace Hospice Care in its 25thAnniversary celebration. Corporate sponsor of the charity, HW Fisher, sent 10 volunteers to help at the event. Leenie's Cakes, a family run business, donated an incredible show stopping cake and Hope Winter, a young St. Albans singer/songwriter, entertained our guests with her beautiful voice.
To commemorate the anniversary Christine Harrison, a Hertfordshire based artist, also helped create a mosaic which will be unveiled in the following months and featured in the Hospice's court yard to mark the milestone.
There are lots of events happening during this anniversary year for the community to support, as well as a Heritage exhibition at the Watford Museum in September. There are lots of things for the community to look forward to and join to help us mark our Silver Anniversary! See how you can get involved here.
Peace Hospice Care relies on over 600 volunteers and 155 staff members to deliver their services across Hertfordshire. If you would like to volunteer with the Hospice or to have a look at their current vacancies please visit www.peacehospicecare.org.uk or call 01923 330 330.


"Breakaway" Is this years challenge for FIRST. The objective is to program robots to kick soccer balls to score points. Two alliances made of three teams each, work together to score. Scoring a ball in a goal is worth one point, each side has a tower that robots can climb for two points. Having another a robot climb on top of a hanging robot will add aditional points. There also are two bumps that seperate the field into three parts.

New domain mapping update causes redirect loop.
I just tried updating the domain mapping plugin and ran into a problem with wordpress auto canonicalization trying to redirect the www. subdomain into the base domain.
I have Apache set up so most of my domain redirect the base domain into the www. subdomain and this worked fine under the older 3.0.4 version. However when I updated to 3.17 all my domain sudden were caught in a redirect loop when Apache tried to send viewers to the www. domain wordpress would send them back to the base.
Did you also update your sunrise.php file? Using the auto-update method wouldn't have done this for you as that file is in wp-content directly.
Can you provide us with actual links so we can take a look with you? Once we know everything's upgraded correctly we can narrow down what might be happening. It seems your domain is working correctly, so are only sub-domains not working?
I had to restore the older version of the plugin to get the sites back up so I can't give you a live example without trashing some 200 of our clients domains. But yes I did replace the sunrise.php file with the new one. Is there any other information I can provide?
Thank you for bringing this to our attention which is certainly appreciated.
Was the version that you mentioned causing the redirect loop indeed version 3.2.2?


There is also this article-- with pictures!
Are we not the funniest species on earth?
Given the secular mindset of post-Christian Europe this makes a lot of sense. The issue that the church now faces in this cultural ethos is figuring out ways to engage atheistic people. My hunch is that the Church's methodology need not consist of beating atheists over the head with concepts of belief in hopes to counter their unbelief. Rather, we should allow people to experience their unbelief as being the very soil for life to emerge.
When I read about things like this I like to ask why the church so afraid of unbelief. I think it is because it exposes our sense of unbelief. Most Christian's today, I would argue, are atheists. For many Christian's their atheism is not an "intellectual" atheism, but rather an "existential" atheism. We affirm many things mentally but we fail to affirm them at the core of our being.
Until we understand this dynamic we will always scapegoat the atheist. We do this so that we do not have to face our own sense of unbelief. If Christian's would have the courage to embrace their own unbelief we would see that we are not all that different from atheists.

College Ave bridge reconstruction
Kim Dunlap
The city of Appleton's Department of Public Works is in the early stages of developing the reconstruction of the College Avenue bridge, which will possibly expand the bridge into four lanes. The actual construction of this project will begin, at the earliest, in 2008. Currently, the Department of Public Works is primarily concerned with generating community feedback concerning this project.
Last week, the Department began conducting an email survey, which asks residents whether they feel that, when the bridge is reconstructed, it should be expanded into four lanes or kept at two lanes.
The survey goes on to ask community members for their input so that a "community-sensitive" design may be developed.
Paula Vandehey, Appleton's Director of Public Works, commented that the department has already received approximately 20 survey responses from residents.
The public thus far has been predominately in favor of expanding the bridge, with the exception of the residents of the neighborhoods immediately surrounding the College Avenue bridge, who would like the bridge to remain as two lanes.
Vandehey commented that there is a significant need for reconstructing the bridge, since current traffic counts suggest that the bridge is very near to its capacity at this point in time.
Reconstructing the bridge would provide a longterm solution to the increased traffic created by the expansion and development of the downtown area. The new bridge would have a lifespan of 75 years and would provide service well into the future.
In Vandehey's opinion, the bridge would not impact the Lawrence community. She asserted that the redevelopment of downtown Appleton (e.g. the Performing Arts Center and the incoming Copper Leaf Hotel), however, is really responsible for generating an increase in traffic around Lawrence.
She commented that the Department of Public Works is working with Lawrence to assess how best to provide for pedestrian crossing across the Lawrence campus in order to alleviate the problems presented by the increase in traffic volume.

Erie Canal Lift Bridges Rehabilitation
New York State Department of Transportation
Albion and Brockport, New York
The objective of this project is to update two "towerless" vertical-lift bridges, built between 1911 and 1915, to best serve the nearly 5.8 million passenger trips across them each year. The first bridge carries NY Route 19 (Main Street) over the Erie Canal in Brockport, NY. It has a total length of 155 feet with a 130-foot vertical-lift span. The second carries NY Route 98 (North Main Street) over the Erie Canal in Albion, NY. It has a total length of 132 feet with a 115-foot vertical-lift span.
As the prime consultant, M&M provided a full inspection of all structural, mechanical, and electrical components for each bridge. The inspection findings were the primary basis for the scope of rehabilitation documented in the Bridge Rehabilitation Report (BRR), which included a Bridge Rehabilitation Justification Report (BRJR). Ongoing final design work includes load rating the trusses, full replacement of truss bottom chord elements, select replacement of other truss elements and full replacement of the floor systems. Reinforced concrete counterweights will be replaced with smaller steel counterweights to allow for improved access and safety within the lift pits. M&M is also overhauling all mechanical and electrical equipment including the lifting mechanism components and control systems.
Length of Main Span 155 feet and 132 feet
Total Project Length 130 feet and 115 feet

'I Am Not A Politician And Will Never Be' Says Fela Durotoye
The 2019 Presidential Candidate of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Fela Durotoye, says he is not a politician but a nation builder.
Durotoye made this comment during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on the sidelines of The Future Awards Africa 2018 in Lagos where he was a guest.
The ANN presidential candidate said his intention for contesting Nigeria's presidency is to represent a generational change in the leadership structure of Nigeria away from politics.
Durotoye urged Nigerians to vote only people who would deliver dividends of democracy across all levels of governance and not those who will fight for their selfish interests.
His words: "I have said it that I am not a politician and will never be a politician. I am a nation builder.
"I have always insisted that there is a need to take politics out of governance. We need nation builders so that we can have policy formulators and not politics.
"I think it is policies that change the life of the people and not politics, the economy of the nation is in the hands of the policy articulators not the politicians.
"We should be thinking of those that are ready to build this country through good policies and look away from the politicians who are just to milk the country."
"We need honest people in governance, those that know the onions of good governance. So, in this light we need to talk to our people at the grassroots and educate them.
"There is a call to action because everybody's grass has its roots and it is our responsibility to make the call for the desired change.

"The change we are talking about is not about me but the whole generation of which I belong to, my presidential race is generational.
"I am frank person and honest, I want everyone to do what is right and engage in the right attitude; we should speak out on what we want to change about governance in Nigeria,'' he said.

Q: Is it possible to write directly to the data segment of an ELF file in tmpfs when writing a global variable in the file? I guess, though I'm not quite sure, that,like the text segment of an ELF file in tmpfs, where the instructions can be executed in place, the data segment in the file doesn't need to be copied until the program is trying to modify the value of a global variable (or a static local variable). That is called COPY ON WRITE.
To my project, however, it doesn't matter that the ELF files in tmpfs are modified. So I wonder if it would possible to write directly to the data segment of an ELF file while writing a global variable in it. I think this would save a lot of RAM space.

After winning the World Series, the Red Sox will be sure not to get complacent heading into the offseason.
After a strong 2016 season, the Boston Red Sox struggled in 2017 with many of their key players regressing. Despite the fact that this ball club won the World Series, regression is always a possibility Boston could face. That is why I believe it is important for Boston to add to their squad in order to ensure repetitive dominance. The starting lineup looks to be pretty set, but adding depth should be a priority for the Red Sox.
It is a good idea to identify possible areas of regression in order to cover yourself if things go sour.
As you may remember, in 2017 the Red Sox desperately needed power. The acquisition of JD Martinez solved this, but it is not out of the realm of possibility that our power bats regress again in 2019. That's why I suggest that Boston should look to add another player with power to play in a platoon role and assist off the bench.
This acquisition can come in the form of a backup outfielder due to JBJ's offensive inconsistency. Having an extra bat who can come off the bench in favorable lefty / righty matchups, and who can allow us to rely less on JBJ, would be ideal. Likewise, a platoon third baseman could be another opportunity for a power bat. While a fantastic young talent, Devers did not deliver great production during the season. Moreover, he is a young player, so inconsistency is always a possibility. This would be a good area for Boston to cover due to the possibility of a lack of consistent production at third next year. Furthermore, with Pedroia's injury history, it could be wise to add some cover there as well. Lastly, first base could also be prone to regression if the Sox do not re-sign Pearce. Mitch Moreland is great but relying solely on him to deliver production is not an optimal situation. You would like to maintain the left / right matchups, as well as cover in case Moreland regresses.
You can never have enough pitching in baseball. While the Red Sox bullpen was good in 2018, especially in the playoffs, it could be improved. Another reliever or two to go along with the likes of Kimbrel, Barnes, Kelly, and Brasier would be a smart addition. Tyler Thornburg could come back from injury and return to his top form, but that is not a bet I want to make.
After watching the postseason, the starting pitching should be fine if they retain the services of Eovaldi. A Sale-Price-Porcello-Eovaldi-Rodriguez rotation is one of the better ones in baseball, especially with Steven Wright as a depth option. If Boston really wanted to go all-in, they could try to add another top arm to the rotation; however, I think this is unlikely given that they are already over the luxury tax threshold.
First, Dave Dombrowski will have to decide who to re-sign from our own players. I believe the Red Sox absolutely have to sign Craig Kimbrel, despite the postseason play and contract demands. He is an elite closer in baseball and our bullpen desperately needs him. I would also attempt to keep Joe Kelly since his potential is quite obvious. He is inconsistent but worth the risk. I do not know what to do with Drew Pomeranz, so we will just forget about him for this article.
In terms of general free agency and/or trades, I believe the Red Sox should make at least 2 moves (keeping in mind their already large payroll). First, they should acquire a cheaper, depth player with some power who can play either second base, third base or the outfield. Secondly, they need to add at least one quality relief pitcher on top of keeping who they currently have. This should be done not only for protection against regression, but as a way to elevate Boston's bullpen to a top 5 status.
I would ideally like a lefty since we don't have a consistent one out of the 'pen, but I don't think it matters too much. Adding production to the catcher position would be ideal, but taking into account the current market as well as Boston's salary situation, I think the Red Sox will roll into 2019 with Vazquez and Leon.
With the exception of a rare offensive catcher, this lineup is completely without holes. There is balance, depth, power, and contact hitters throughout, as well as formidable bench options. This covers Boston if any of the starters regress, while also providing legitimate depth players. The fact that Nunez would start the season in AAA (unless he wins the job in spring training from Brock Holt) is an absolute testament to this lineup. I also believe he wouldn't be in AAA long since injuries are very common.
The starting rotation is one of the best in baseball and this bullpen is now capable of being a top 5 unit in all of baseball. I do not think the Red Sox need to do much this off-season to maintain their dominance, but executing these moves would ensure they remain at the top of the baseball world.
You seem to have entirely left out financial considerations.
Well we are not sure what the organization is willing to spend yet. They are clearly comfortable being in the luxury tax, but we can't image they want to stay there for long. This is why I did not suggest signing a top pitcher or Bryce Harper. That's why the article refers to signing a cheap depth bat.
So financial considerations are taken into account but the lack of knowing ownership's plans makes it hard to give an accurate assessment. If we knew the max payroll they are willing to pay for, I could do a cap analysis alongside this article.

Simply stated: gentrification is when they, the powers that be, have ruined cities that used to be mostly populated by people of color and the liberal children of the those who left during White Flight come back to rename areas of cities that POC have been living in for decades. Then all of a sudden businesses that would have nothing to do with urban areas start popping up everywhere. Then houses and apartments start costing too much so the POC who've been there all along can't afford to live there anymore so they get evicted. After a bunch of evictions, the houses, apartments and other units get renovated, the neighborhood or burrow gets a cool new name. More people move in, urban gardens get planted, the streets get cleaned and the economy sees a surge.
Ok… so that wasn't a simple explanation, but it encapsulates the oxymoronic nature of the beautiful monster, gentrification.
Here in Detroit, it's hard to love it while watching what it is doing to my family and family friends. Taxes are astronomical so it's hard to keep up with them as well as the super high water rates. When people fall behind everybody blames them for not paying bills. It totally makes sense, no bill pay, no water. No taxes paid, no home. But it's not that cut and dry. However, that's beside the point.While I watch people fight to keep their homes, I drive ten minutes away from my home on the Northwest side of the city and end up in Cass Corridor. You probably know of it as "Midtown." And I look around and realize it's a completely different city. I ride downtown and inevitably think to myself "Why did they come from?" The bike lanes. The neighborhood names. The coffee shops. The new parking meters. The White people.
The diversity that comes from gentrification is beautiful. The way natives are being mistreated, displaced and forgotten is monstrous.
The schools of Detroit Public Schools (DPS) are being stripped. The teachers are being forced out and being made to look like the villains. Before you know it, DPS won't exist. Children are being forced to go to schools that don't have heat, updated books, or enough certified teachers to teach. Everyone knows that a quality education is one of the prerequisites to a successful life. The lives of those children matter because all lives matter.
You might have heard about the Sick Outs, but just in case you haven't let me catch you up. DPS teachers are calling in sick, in droves. So many are calling in because they really are sick. They're sick of losing their benefits. They're sick of taking paycuts. They're sick of having to teach 40 students per class. They are sick of losing funding. They are sick of being blamed for the failing system. They are sick of knowing that their school district is being intentionally and systematically dismantled by the institution that claims to be supporting them, the state. They are sick of not being able to live lives like people with full time jobs. Their lives and livelihoods matter because all lives matter. So yea, they're sick, but probably not as sick as our neighbors in Flint.
I know you know about the genocide poisoning unfortunate event that is the lead filled water that's plaguing the city of Flint. So far, only ten people have died. You and I know that even ten is too many because all lives matter. Different organizations are working together to donate bottled water to the citizens of Flint. This needs to happen because city officials have officially declared that the brown colored water is safe to drink and bathe in.
Detroit and Flint used to be heavily populated cities. They attracted lots of people in decades past because so many jobs were available in car plants. Over the years, the jobs were moved to the suburbs, but the people (who couldn't afford to move) stayed. Schools are funded based on the property values of the homes surrounding the schools. If neighborhoods are poor so are the schools. Poor schools lose resources and materials. Then, class sizes increase and test scores decrease. The government uses the test information as proof that the teachers, administrators and school board are inept and the solution is for the state to take over. This happened in both Detroit and Flint.
I could say more, but I want this message to reach the people it's intended to reach before I divulge more details about the crimes being committed against Black people of color poor people citizens of Michigan so please send this to the leaders of All Lives Matter of Michigan.
Fundamentally, we agree. All lives matter. The way we show that is different though. Let's meet and discuss this.
P.S. Please tell the modern day slave auctioneers who break up families Child Protective Services (CPS) that it isn't ok for them to come and take citizens of Flint's children because they are refusing to pay water bills for polluted water.

CHECKING YOUR TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY IN WINTER IS VERY IMPORTANT !
Drivers sometimes forget that the weather plays an important role in tire pressure. If your tire is leaking, most people jump to the conclusion that its an under inflated tire or there is a nail or puncture in the tire.
However, in the winter, when the temperature falls, air contracts as the molecules that make up the air compress and squish closer together and this reduced volume results tires to lose air and hence lose pressure. Now everybody knows that underinflated tires are not good. Therefore, it's a good idea to check your tire pressure at least once a month during November to March especially and its also good practise to carry this out all through the year as it only takes seconds to check your pressure at the local gas station.
Drivers usually understand the importance of regular maintenance, and tires deserve just as much attention as that regular oil change !
Unfortunately, sometimes we forget about tires but we shouldn't for the following reasons !
Underinflated tires can affect steering and handling in winter conditions on wet or slick roads. They can also increase braking distances which isn't good in an emergency stop situation ! Also, over inflated or under inflated tires can cause irregular wear meaning your tires won't last as long as they normally should costing you time and money ! Blowouts can also happen if you are not driving with the correct tire pressure for your particular vehicle……………….also not a good thing !
Gas ain't cheap, even with the oil price lows…………………..Canadians spend an average of $60 per week on gas……………….and vehicles with underinflated tires get poorer gas milage than their counterparts. Also if you can imagine, a tire with lower pressure than it should have will have more surface contact with the road increasing rolling resistance and friction on the road. You can waste hundreds of dollars a year when driving with under inflated tires……………………..save your money……………….check your tires ! We all work too hard to just throw money away unnecessarily when there are simply a few minutes we can spare to avoid that expense !
Newer cars come equipped with tire pressure monitor systems which cause a light on the dashboard to come on, making you aware to check the tire pressure. It kind of looks like a triangle with an exclamation mark on it in most vehicles. This helps to remind you but if your car doesn't have this, just make a mental note to check your tires at least monthly !
To achieve proper tire pressure, you can look in your owner's manual to check the proper inflation pressure recommended for your specific make and model car. Sometimes, you can even find it located on the drivers side door jamb also.
Most gas stations, have a manual tire pressure machine you can use for free or a nominal 50 cents charge!
HOW DO YOU CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE WITH A MANUAL GAUGE ?
Insert the gauge measurement stick completely inside the tire gauge.
Firmly and quickly place the open end of the gauge over the tire valve stem.
The measurement stick will pop out and you can read the number on the far right of the stick which is your tire pressure measured in PSI or pounds per square inch.
If you prefer you can repeat this a couple of times to ensure an accurate reading.
Repeat this process for all 4 tires …………………….and don't forget about the spare…………its good to check the spare yearly but necessarilyevery time it its unused.
Anita Gulati, and Ricky Balroop, who owns and operates Best Deals Auto in Toronto (Etobicoke), says that one way to tackle doubt from customers regarding repairs or services to their cars, is by using photographs to email them, or showing the customer what is wrong with the car and what is required to repair it. It is often very hard to explain something to a customer, but when a customer actually sees the car on the hoist and sees the brakes worn, its a completely different matter.
Best Deals Auto values taking the time to explain to the customer what is wrong, especially when it comes to vehicle maintenance, electronic repairs and spending money on their car. In many cases, clients do not have the knowledge beforehand, and are not prepared for the news. Seeing is believing and when they can actually see the issues with their car, they are more appreciative.
Best Deals Auto stands out above the crowd because their business model is that the single most important element for customer retention is communication with their customers. Obviously trained technicians who can handle the repairs are required, but success is customer service and how comfortable the clients feel for the valuation of the work and honesty of service.
Gas or Electric Cars ? Which One is the Wave of the Future ?
When drivers go to refuel at the gas station, it takes about 2-3 minutes to refuel the average car. Its quite a quick process. Recharging an electric car at a charging station specifically designed for this purpose takes about 25 to 45 minutes, which seems unreasonable for most people.
The concept of an electric car is good, but the consumer market has not welcomed electric cars whole-heartedly just yet. The most essential requirements for electric car ownership have not been met such as user-friendly charging infrastructure and to do so will take time………some predict 20-30 years at best.
The electric auto industry is still struggling to make batteries more efficient and cheaper and are developing elaborate second-life programs for batteries to make them more affordable as currently some cost upwards of $5000-10000 each.
The most elemental challenge with electric cars is the recharging and lack of infrastructure across North America…………there is a gas station at virtually every corner but you don't find too many charging stations presently !
Although manufacturers are leaning towards increasing electric or hybrid car production over the next 5-7 years, the transition phase from combustion engines to full hybrid has a far way to come to persuade the change-over…………….the government needs to invest much more in the way of making electric cars more convenient to own.
For now, traditional cars that need traditional mechanical repairs are here to stay. So enjoy your car and don't think too hard as its too far away for this to happen…………..you will know when its time to make the change over and Best Deals Auto doesn't think its any time soon.
Autonomous driving is in the very very much future so lets get real guys ! There don't appear to be any short term alternatives to your traditional cars just yet…………so the advice and general consensus is keep your car maintained and safe as its still your best bet for getting around.
Customer want cheap, fast and best…………….unfortunately that's not always the way business works.
In the automotive repair industry, service and knowledge make the best repair shop.
A mechanic shop is more likely to be successful and have satisfied customers if they provide proper workmanship and competitive prices and then they will be producing revenue for many years to come as customers feel happy !
The old model about making as much money as possible from one customer is gone…customers are more educated, ask more questions and demand competitive and affordable pricing. Customer loyalty is earned when you are consistently offering affordable and reasonable rates…………being the lowest price is not always what the customer wants…the customer wants efficiency, value and trust.
TRUE VALUE DELIVERED CREATES LOYALTY. Best Deals Auto has been in business for over 23 years and has many thousands of satisfied clients that keep coming back for all their car needs ! We must be doing something right to have earned the trust of so many !
Its not selling the work, its counselling the clients as to whats in their best interests within their budget and constraints that is important. When the clients believe you care, they feel this vibe, and are more satisfied they are getting value, hence customer retention !
WAY TO GO BEST DEALS AUTO ! Being in business for 23 years is a HIP HIP HOORAY !
Women in the auto industry and women repair service advisors bring a lot to the front counter. Don't be afraid to deal with a woman service advisor !
Best Deals Auto has 2 women service advisors. Having women service advisors as well as 1 male service advisor actually brings culture to the shop.
Women have a lot to offer our male-dominated industry. In many cases, female clients prefer to be served by a woman. For some women, bringing their car into a service station can be an intimidating experience and having a woman on the other side of the counter can make the entire process more comfortable. They can be the perfect mediator between the technician and simple breakdowns of what needs to be done rather than technical details of repairs.
There is no question that the world is evolving and moving away from male dominated industries. Best Deals Auto has empowered this trend and the opportunity to speed the transition to empower women in the auto industry.
Come to Best Deals Auto for a professional and communicative experience for all your car needs !


The Chinese plasma manufacturer might be acquired for $110 per share.
Shares of China Biologic Products (NASDAQ:CBPO) rose nearly 26% today after CITIC Capital Holdings made an all-cash offer to purchase the company for $110 per share, as reported by Reuters. The Chinese investment firm currently owns 5.1% of the Chinese biologics manufacturer that specializes in the production of plasma-based biopharma products.
The price tag values the company at $3.65 billion, which would be close to the all-time high achieved briefly in early 2016. A lot has happened since then. China Biologic Products grew full-year revenue and adjusted net income attributable to the company 25% and 21%, respectively, from 2015 to 2017. The latter excludes a one-time $40.3 million charge related to U.S. corporate tax reform.
As of 12:01 p.m. EDT, the stock had settled to a 21.8% gain.
Although China Biologic Products is listed on a U.S. exchange, the business is primarily focused on the Chinese market. The company is a top-five producer of plasma products -- used to treat diseases, injuries, and recovery from surgery -- in its home country, which is the second-largest market for such products after the United States.
However, the Chinese plasma market is still dominated by the use of older technology (human albumin), which the U.S. last used predominantly in the early 1970s before turning to more advanced products (immunoglobulin for intravenous injection, or IVIG). China Biologic Products has played along with the market dynamics to date, but is actively attempting to modernize China's plasma market. The strategy has largely worked, as demonstrated by the company's growth rate in the last decade, but there's a long way to go.
The vast difference between technologies used in more mature plasma products markets such as the U.S. and fledgling markets such as China explain why China Biologic Products wasn't a takeover target for an American pharmaceutical company. That said, shareholders aren't complaining after today's huge rise that added nearly $600 million in market cap. There's still some room for shares to rise to meet the specified acquisition price of $110 per share, and investors might expect the stock to creep toward that figure as more clarity is provided on the closing of the deal. Right now, nothing is final.

Key result area 1 - Build and support quality practices in equity and diversity management
The DEOPE plays a key role in providing information on equity and diversity trends and good practice through a customised consultancy service. The consultancy service provides advice and assistance to public authorities on:
developing EEO management plans
developing guidelines, planning and evaluation tools
evaluating the effectiveness of plans and strategies
improving diversity data collection methods
meeting compliance requirements.
In 2012/13, the workforce planning and diversity team continued working with public authorities through a customised consultancy service and agency portfolio model. While the priority of staff was to assist public authorities with the development of their workforce and diversity plans, advice was also provided to agencies on how to progress the implementation of their plans. Consultancy activity also involved presentations to a number of agency corporate executive meetings in order to provide a summary on public sector workforce strengths and gaps that were identified in a mid-point review of Strategic directions for the public sector workforce 2009−2014 and to engage with agency executives and reinforce the importance of workforce planning and the diversity agenda.
In 2012/13, the DEOPE interacted with 130 public authorities, 140 local government authorities and four public universities. The range of interactions included data collection through to consulting on the development and evaluation of EEO management plans as well as running information sessions and forums.
Compliance assessment
Public authorities are required to have an EEO management plan as per section 145 of the EO Act. Evaluations of EEO management plans provided to the DEOPE were undertaken to determine the extent to which EEO management plans adequately satisfied the specific requirement of that provision. The DEOPE was satisfied that all public authorities maintained compliance with this requirement and, consequently, the DEOPE did not undertake any investigations under section 147 of the EO Act.
Integrated planning
During 2012/13, the DEOPE continued to support the implementation of the Public Sector Commissioner's Circular 2011-02: Workforce planning and diversity in the public sector. This circular encourages public sector agencies to integrate the requirements of section 145(2) of the EO Act and workforce initiatives into a single integrated workforce and diversity plan.
Workforce and diversity planning tools
The DEOPE has continued, in collaboration with the Commission, to promote the collaborative efforts of public authorities in the sharing of workforce and diversity planning tools and resources.
As a result, agencies from across the sector have contributed good practice examples of workforce planning documents that promote equity and diversity. The Commission has also identified a variety of agency EEO management plans that showcase good practice.
These resources can be found in the workforce planning toolkit, accessible on the Commission's website. New resources added to the workforce planning toolkit in 2012/13 include:
Aboriginal cultural learning framework (Department of Health)
Aboriginal economic participation strategy (Government of Western Australia)
Aboriginal employment action plan (South Metropolitan Health Service)
Graduate program information (Department of Finance)
Inclusive employment forum - video and transcript (Public Sector Commission)
Multicultural health website (Department of Health)
Pay equity toolkit (Department of Commerce)
Western Australian youth mentoring reform strategic framework (Department for Communities)
Women in leadership strategy (Western Australia Police)
Women's report card (Department for Communities)
Exemplar EEO management plans (various agencies).
Key result area 2 - High quality, accurate, and timely reporting
The DEOPE reports on the progress of public authorities towards the achievement of a diverse workforce under section 143 of the EO Act. The Commission supports the DEOPE through the collection, management and evaluation of diversity data. The data is used in planning, reporting and improvement of equity and diversity programs across the public sector.
A key focus of the DEOPE during the reporting period was to work, in collaboration with the Commission, with authorities to improve the accuracy of diversity data. The DEOPE engaged with the Department of Health and the Department of Education, and other large entities, to improve response rates to a voluntary diversity questionnaire managed by authorities. Work focused on reviewing and amending the methods used for equity and diversity surveying and reporting. These amendments have improved the accuracy of diversity statistics, particularly the underrepresentation of employees in some diversity groups. While this has had many benefits, it has resulted in the identification of some previous over-reporting of the representation of people with disability in the Department of Health. Given the size of the Department of Health's workforce, the correction for this year has impacted whole-of-sector figures and creates an impression of a decline in representation when in fact, it is more indicative of the effect of past over-reporting of employees with disability across the Department of Health. This is evident in Tables 1 and 5 on pages 22 and 26 of this report.
Workforce data improvement project - officers in 50d positions
The EO Act contains provision for lawful positive discrimination in situations where a person's equal opportunity status is determined to be an essential criterion for performance of the functions.
The term used in section 50 of the EO Act is "a genuine occupational qualification' and section 50(d) establishes a legitimate condition in situations where the "genuine occupational qualification involves (d) providing persons of a particular race with services for the purpose of promoting their welfare where those services can most effectively be provided by a person of the same race'.
This provision has been used by a number of agencies to support Aboriginal employment initiatives and to ensure that certain services are provided by Aboriginal people. In early 2013, the DEOPE met with agencies to discuss discrepancies between the number of section 50(d) positions reported by the agencies and the number of Aboriginal employees reported through the HRMOIR workforce data. The initiative to reconcile these two related data sets led to improved identification in the diversity sample for key agencies employing significant numbers of Aboriginal employees.
How does your agency compare?
"How does your agency compare?' reports provide an opportunity for public authorities to benchmark their workforce profiles against the public sector. In 2013, the DEOPE provided "How does your agency compare?' reports to public sector entities with more than 100 employees. Similar reports were prepared and distributed to the four public universities.
Key result area 3 - Performance partnering
Presentations and diversity networks
The DEOPE delivered a range of presentations and engaged in a number of activities to support the diversity agenda across the public sector. This included:
curriculum and course leadership for "Foundations of government human resources, module two: Diversity in the public sector'
presenting at the "Graduate future leaders program, module one: Raising your diversity IQ' (July 2012)
presenting at the Human Resources Managers Forum-Disability employment in the public sector (June 2013)
supporting the Public Sector Commissioner's International Women's Day luncheon to celebrate the accomplishments of women in leadership across the public sector (March 2013).
Inclusive employment − people with disability forum
During Disability Awareness Week in December 2012, a forum recognising the International Day of People with Disability was jointly hosted by the DEOPE, the Commission and the Disability Services Commission (DSC).
The forum was facilitated by Ms Deborah Kennedy, a former Australian Broadcasting Corporation television newsreader, with 70 audience members participating in a panel discussion on inclusive employment strategies for people with disability.
Panel guests included Dr John Byrne, Director Corporate Services from the Department of Environment and Conservation, Ms Suzanne Colbert, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Network on Disability and Ms Monique Williamson, Executive Director, Community and Sector Development at DSC.
Topics and questions fielded by the panel ranged from how to attract and retain people with disability, addressing perceived obstacles, interviewing tips and workplace adjustments.
The DEOPE talked about positive achievements in the representation and distribution of people with disability employed in the public sector and a partnership with DSC to develop practical tools and resources to support the Disability employment strategy 2013-2015.
Through membership on the Aboriginal Employment Strategy Governance Group, the DEOPE continued to support the implementation of the Aboriginal Employment Strategy 2011-2015 for the Western Australian public sector.
The strategy is Western Australia's commitment to the Council of Australian Governments' Indigenous Economic Participation National Partnership and is the blueprint for achieving Western Australia's commitment to increase Aboriginal public sector employment to 3.2 per cent by 2015.
The implementation of the strategy commenced in December 2011. Since that time significant progress has been achieved in meeting the objectives of "Theme 2: Attract Aboriginal people'. Under this theme the Commission established an "Aboriginal traineeship program' (ATP). This is an integrated employment, training and mentoring service coordinated by the Commission. The ATP provides Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, 25 years of age and under, with an opportunity to develop public administration skills and competencies through a Certificate II and III in Government.
To date three metropolitan intakes have resulted in seven trainees securing ongoing employment with host agencies. In July 2013, the fourth metropolitan intake will see 32 trainees placed in public sector entities. The second regional intake will also commence in July with 20 trainees placed in public authorities in regional Western Australia.
Public Sector Commission staff
Disability employment strategy
During 2012/13, the DEOPE, in collaboration with the Commission and DSC, worked on the development of the Disability employment strategy 2013-2015.
The PSEPD reference group was established to provide advice and guidance, and to monitor the implementation and success of the strategy. During the strategy's development, a review was undertaken of strategies in place to attract, recruit, and retain people with disability in the public sector. This gave particular attention to:
the representation of people with disability employed in the public sector
barriers throughout the process of employment, from application, to appointment, to workplace support
the role of the Commission and DSC in supporting the strategy across the public sector.
Key result area 4 - Effective staff, systems and processes
The DEOPE supports the Commission on broader policy initiatives designed to integrate functions and improve systems and processes. During the reporting period, the DEOPE participated on a steering group responsible for overseeing the development of a whole of Commission workflow and case management database. The project was delivered on time and on budget. Implementation of the new system in 2013/14 will support improved information sharing, effective case management, efficient monitoring of trends in enquiries, compliance assessment and areas relevant to the DEOPE functions.

Libya: humanitarian crisis worsening amid deepening conflict and COVID-19 threat
India Education Diary Bureau Admin
One year since the launch of a military offensive in Tripoli, Libya, fighting is further worsening with COVID-19 now bringing new threats, warns UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.
More than 300 civilians have been killed and 150,000 others displaced from their homes since last April. Despite the tentative agreement on a humanitarian truce, fighting escalated significantly in the past week. The deteriorating security has also undermined the ability of the tens of thousands of formerly displaced persons to safely return to their areas of origin.
Meanwhile, the authorities have now confirmed ten cases of COVID-19 and one death in Libya, raising new fears about the ability of the country's weakened health services to respond.
The ongoing conflict has severely impacted the country's health system and medical services, which have limited financial resources and face shortages of basic equipment and medicines. Many hospitals or health facilities, located in areas close to the conflict, have also been damaged or closed.
UNHCR and partners are providing generators, ambulances, prefab-containers and tented clinics, in support of local health-care services. We are also raising public health awareness amongst refugees, asylum-seekers and Libyans, through posters, text messages and social media, aimed at mitigating the risks of exposure to COVID-19.
Together with other humanitarian agencies, UNHCR is calling on the Libyan authorities to ensure the access and inclusion of all population groups in Libya to health surveillance, preparedness, response plans and activities.
With other agencies, we are also repeating our calls for the orderly release of those held in detention to the community. Asylum-seekers and refugees, held in detention because they do not have legal documentation, are particularly vulnerable and exposed, given often poor sanitation facilities, limited health services and overcrowded conditions. Many detention centres are also located in areas close to fighting frontlines.
Daily life is becoming increasingly difficult for people across conflict-torn Libya. Libyan civilians as well as refugees and asylum-seekers face tough challenges in accessing basic goods and services or finding work. Rental, food and fuel prices have spiked and people are facing serious difficulties accessing their basic needs.
UNHCR is particularly concerned at the growing lack of affordable housing and the rise in rental prices, as more displaced or secondarily displaced Libyans have been forced to leave their homes and are seeking new places to rent.
This has particularly impacted refugees and asylum-seekers who are unable to find regular work. Refugees have told UNHCR that rental prices for single room accommodation has gone up as much as six-fold, while rental costs for houses had trebled. Many people are living in crowded, unfinished and unfurnished buildings or garage units, with as many as ten people sharing a single room.
The volatile security has also led to a spike in criminality, with increased cases of targeted robberies and attacks.
UNHCR continues to operate in Libya to help provide protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, forcibly displaced Libyans and returnees, but the delivery of assistance has been severely hampered by strict security movement protocols and reduced presence on the ground.
In the last 12 months, UNHCR has provided medical consultations for more than 25,500 people, distributed emergency relief items to more than 42,700 people, and cash assistance to nearly 2,500 people. UNHCR has also supported 37 projects aimed at fostering peaceful co-existence between refugees, displaced Libyans, returnees and host communities, including through the rehabilitation of social infrastructure such as health and education facilities.
UNHCR echoes the appeal of UN Secretary-General António Guterres urging warring parties across the world to cease their fighting in support of the response to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I love anything pumpkin so set about looking for a suitable allergy free version to try out. I am aware that people will be starting to think I am feeding the kids on too much baked food but my main aim is to have food that if anyone in the house was to drop on the floor would make harmless crumbs. Anyway we all loved these. I found the original recipe here. The most fab smell will waft from your oven while these are baking!
2 tablespoon molasses (or dark brown sugar)Preheat oven to 200 c.
In a separate bowl combine wet ingredients.
Pour the wet into the dry and mix.
Fill muffin cups 3/4 full and bake 18-20mins.


Over the years, we've helped hundreds of B2B teams overcome some of their biggest marketing and sales challenges. And while every company faces its own unique problems, we've found that many challenges are universal for small businesses and enterprise companies alike, regardless of industry or team structure.
Not having one centralized place to manage target accounts.
Managing too many disparate point solutions and tools.
Having no easy way to consolidate data from different sources and turn that data into actionable insights.
Operationalizing a target account strategy across departments.
Demonstrating value and proving ROI.
We hear you — and frankly, we've been there too.
So, we worked closely with our customers to create a single, unified platform to help marketing and sales teams solve these challenges. The new Terminus Account-Based Platform was created specifically to help you execute your B2B marketing strategy and be more successful as one revenue team.
The Terminus platform is built around the TEAM framework for ABM. TEAM outlines the necessary components of any target account strategy: Target, Engage, Activate, and Measure.
In our webinar Put ABM Into Action with TEAM, our chief product officer, Bryan Brown, outlines the TEAM framework. Let's take a look at the top six criteria you should look for in an ABM platform, how this maps to the TEAM framework, and where Terminus fits in.
Account Targeting Functionality – Easily build lists of your best-fit accounts, then slice and dice them into the segments that make the most sense for your organization.
Centralized Source of Truth – Bring all your data into one place that's accessible to your entire revenue team.
In Terminus, the Account Hub is the central place where marketing and sales can build target account lists and operationalize their ABM strategy. It unifies previously siloed information like insights from your marketing automation platform, firmographic data, intent data, engagement data, and beyond.
You can use this information to identify your best-fit accounts and quickly spin up targeted lists based on any criteria that are important to your team. The Account Hub also acts as your target account command center, making it simple to get a 360-degree view of each account.
Account-Based Advertising – You need a way to proactively scale engagement with all the decision-makers at your target accounts, even when you don't have them in your database.
Real-Time Engagement Data – Deliver timely account insights to your sales team so they can strike while the iron is hot.
ABM is about engaging the right people at your target accounts throughout their lifecycles and activating personalized outreach at the right time. The key is to coordinate this across multiple channels, such as ads, emails, and direct mail.
Account-Based Advertising is where Terminus has long excelled, enabling you to deliver highly targeted ads to both known and unknown contacts at your target accounts. We've also added additional triggers so you can send emails and trigger automated workflows that complement your ads.
This extends to your sales team as well. With Sales Insights, sales reps can see which of their accounts are engaging with content and product pages, and which are the hottest so they can prioritize outreach and not wait for someone to come in via inbound. Based on this data, they can shape their outreach based on what content or products their accounts are most interested in.
Full-Funnel ABM Analytics – ABM isn't just about generating demand. Choose a solution that offers account-based reporting that spans the entire customer lifecycle and lets you prove your impact on pipeline and revenue.
Measurement is mission critical to any marketing program, but even more so with ABM. Terminus' Account-Based Analytics allows for faster, data-driven decisions to optimize campaigns, provide actionable intel to sales, and improve marketing spend. Instead of simply measuring leads, modern marketers track account engagement metrics throughout the funnel and tie those KPIs back to pipeline and revenue.
More importantly, with measurement, you now have visibility into how much of your account's entire buying committee is interested — not just the known contacts. Going a level deeper with Opportunity Journey insights, your team can see who at each account was involved at various stages during the buying journey. This gives you visibility into which touchpoints had the most impact and what specifically made the deal come to life. What content did your accounts engage with, and who specifically was involved in the buying process? With Terminus, you can now see which pieces of content got the most engagement and may have been critical in moving the deal closer to closing.
Customer Success-Driven – Select a vendor that provides a true partnership, not just a tool.
This one doesn't quite fit into the TEAM framework, but it's equally important. You need a partner who will be there every step of the way, from planning and strategizing to execution and measurement.
The Terminus platform was built with ABM at its core, taking into account the biggest pain points account-based marketers and sales teams commonly battle. The solution is a powerful command center for managing all data points and tracking engagement insights to power effective ABM strategies.
To learn more about the Terminus Account-Based Platform, watch the on-demand webinar How to Put ABM into Action with TEAM.

MINNEAPOLIS – Prosecutors say they have charged two 17-year-old boys with murder in the shooting of three men during a botched robbery at a Minneapolis corner store.
Prosecutors charged Mahdi Hassan Ali and Ahmed Shire Ali each with three counts of first-degree murder Thursday.
Surveillance camera footage and the criminal complaint indicate Mahdi Ali shot all three victims in the Jan. 6 incident.
The complaint says Ahmed Ali told police that they had intended to rob the store.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman says Minnesota law states that if murder is committed during the commission of a felony, all parties to that felony are liable for the deaths even if only one person pulled the trigger.
The teens will be tried as adults. They are not related.
